Hi Mike,

IIUC you want to do something like

  setdiff(methods(class="DESeqDataSet"),
          methods(class="RangedSummarizedExperiment"))

Maybe this could be handled by methods() itself e.g. with
an extra argument that lets the user choose if s/he wants to see
all the methods (i.e. specific + inherited) or only the specific
ones?

hi,

Following on a conversation from Bioc2016, I think it would be good to have
a function available to Bioconductor users that helps in the following
situation:

I'm a user, trying out a new package 'foo', which defines the FooData
class, that builds on top of SummarizedExperiment. The package author has
defined a set of methods for the FooData class in the 'foo' package. From
the R console, I want to see a list of these methods, but I don't want to
look through the entire list of methods defined for SummarizedExperiment,
Vector, and Annotated.

I think such a function should live somewhere easily accessible for
Bioconductor users. I worked out two implementations of this function which
you can see here:
